Ahh MAY-Zing!
A lot is going on this month.
ON THE HOME FRONT things are changing & altho' I am not thrilled with the way it all came about, the agreement made & that went into effect mid-July of last year has been fulfilled & it's time to get on with MY life,HOO-RAY!
In the span of about 10 months,FIL has shown himself to be capable of self-sufficiency.Friends have noticed & remarked on his physical as well as mental improvements. DOC has discontinued his use of several prescription medications & reduced the dosage of another,& at his last appointment this week, gave the thumbs up for FIL to get behind the wheel again.Being able to care for oneself is a good thing.It's what parents want most for their children & *I* would think what adult children would want most for their parents.
GETTING ON WITH MY LIFE means a number of things. Keeper & I are undergoing major renovations of his mobile home which has sat empty of human life forms for almost a year. Water pipes have burst from the winters cold temp's & roof leaks have caused ceiling & wall damage.A few window panes & carpet in the living room need replaced. And to be honest,the list goes on.Last week we made a list of things to do & I outlined a schedule for us to tackle it. With the first project we discovered at least 3 more "things to do" we hadn't bargained for & so needless to say we are not on schedule.Our goals in this is (1) to expect things will go wrong & (2)remain positive in thought & words (3) not to lose our focus.
AS FOR MY LIFESTYLE TRANSFORMATION in regards to weight loss goals I am meeting only one at the moment BUT it is THE most important one: I'm not giving up!I realize that life whirls around us even if we would like to make it stop just for a moment & that we must keep up with it or it (life) will just pass us by.BUT....I have a secret weapon!
(It really may not be that secret)I *know* without a shadow of a doubt & regardless of what appearances may seem to prove that *I* WILL meet my weight loss goals.I will *do* what it takes *mentally & physically* to weigh 120 pounds.*I* will *do* what it takes *mentally & physically* to *obtain & maintain* the *healthy,fit,body & sculpted,defined muscles* I imagine in my mind.It may not happen for me by October of this year(which is a goal)but it WILL happen. And *that's* what counts.NOTHING is going to stop me.Not what others may or may not think,not unfavorable situations whirling around me & not even me. How do I *know* this?!
Because: Action follows thought. What we believe we achieve. :D
